<r>This is an extremely tragic song of epic proportions. In the late seventies, there was a mass shooting in San Diego whereupon a young woman went into her school with a gun and shot a bunch of people including teachers and young students. When asked why she did it, she responded "I don't like Mond...

Lovin' You Ain't So Easy

<r>This great hit written by the Canadian musician Michel Pagliaro in 1972 is sweet to listen to. It's fun and easy to play, (it teaches how to barre the first fret and play the F chord nicely) and it reminds us all of our difficult family relationships.

Re: Love Don't Live Here Anymore

Thank you so much Chris! Someone on Facebook asked me how long they should practise and I replied, "until your fingertips hurt and then some."

Love Don't Live Here Anymore

<r>Despite the grammatical awkwardness of the title, it's an awesome, but unknown, song that came from Canada and written by Sven Gali. It's surprisingly difficult to sing as I felt like I was running out of air half way through the first verse.<br/> <br/> <YOUTUBE id="hQvUubI12tE"><URL url="https:/...
